<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Air Canada:</div><div class="quote_post">I know .. that's why I didn't vote yet ..</div> i voted :mrgreen: , mainly for my teams player tough...u guys are rite , its too early to judge who belong in the all-star game , but still i want to give players from my fav. team a head start so they have a better chance to get in. Heres who i picked: WEST Parker Ginobili KG Duncan Rasho EAST AI Pierce VC Jermaine Oneal Curry
Fip Murray deserves to go over any guard in the west as of right now.. However that wont last long, once Ray gets back.. Tmac also doesnt deserve to go as of now.. Look at the teams record, they are absolute garbage..

Bit stiff for Radman to miss out though, his numbers last year were a lot better than Dunleavy's (then again I'm just a biased Seattle fan talking ) As for T-Mac, he deserves to go as long as he's exciting to watch. That's the point of picking the starters, and I also think you could have a bit more class than to put the Magic's poor record on T-Mac whilst blatantly ignoring the poor play of hid teammtes too.

I think Paul pierce should start over tmac as of now.. Yea tracy is "PROB" a better player, but right now paul is doin more for a bad team.. Its a shame whats happened to eddy curry.. i was hopin hed be an all star this year.. By the way coach cartwright this isnt high school u dont bench your starters to try to prove some stupid point.. THERE IS NO REASON AT ALL Hinrich should get any minutes over Jamal crawford!!

My Picks East C Magloire F Carter F O Neal G Iverson G Mason West C Dampier F Randolf F Dirk G Nash G Marbury Write in: Ronald Murray
allnet voted for Vince ??!!!!!! something wrong is going on here .. :mrgreen: joking .. u'r right man ... it's about who we want to see .. not who is supposed to be there ..
Yes I love watching a player with his size with the skills and footwork he has.He is amazing to watch when he goes to work down low...His post game is good to watch.3 years ago I would of picked Shaq but to me he just doesn't seem that exciting anymore....Doesn't have the speed or footwork he used to.However he still can dominate teams because of his size alone...I would just rather see Yao start.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Air Canada:</div><div class="quote_post"> Payton's Votes : G : Gary Payton G : Kobe Bryant F: Kevin Garnet F : Karl Malone C : Shaquille O'neal Fisher's Votes : G : Gary Payton G : Kobe Bryant F : Karl Malone F : Tim Duncan C : Shaquille O'neal </div> Give me a break. Also voting for yourself? Please.
Mine will probably look something like this: West PG: Steve Francis SG: Kobe Bryant SF: Kevin Garnett PF: Tim Duncan C: Shaquille O' Neal East PG: Jason Kidd SG: Allen Iverson SF: Tracy McGrady PF: Jermaine O' Neal C: Ben Wallace Yea, I'm a Laker fan and I did vote in 2 Lakers. Oh well though. They'll deserve it even more-so probably by the time the All Star game comes. Who knows though.
I sure hope Lebron doesn't make it. I'm tired of everyone GIVING HIM everything when he hasn't earned it yet. Anyways mines will probably look like this West Marbury Kobe KG Duncan Shaq East Baron Davis Jason Kidd T-mac (that's if they will let me vote for him as a foward) Jermain Oneal Ben Wallace
Oh I'm sure LeBron will make it. Same with Carmelo. They might not start, but, they'll be in the game.
